Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The climax. Ten Premier League matches, all at 3pm, with the title still to be decided.

We’ve been here several times and rarely does the last day disappoint. We anticipate drama and the unexpected – ingredients that are seldom positive for Fantasy managers looking for assured clean sheets and banked returns from their captain. The final day can be a lottery – that’s why we love it.

Attentions will, of course, be focused on the Etihad and Anfield, where City and Liverpool will look to seal the points that should and could, respectively, win them the title. We’ll also have one eye tracking the progress at the top of the Fantasy Premier League, as Fantasy Football Scout member, Tom Fenley, looks to fend off his challengers to claim his own crown. It’s going to be tense.

For the final time this season, our Twitter feed will update you on all the teamsheets from the day, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for the very last time – our new Matchday Comments system will be tested during the World Cup in the Summer and will be our method of capturing your real-time reactions for the next campaign.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Well that's the title sewn up then. Could still do with a Studge goal tho. Shame he's not had any major chances.

      Certainly poorest defense. Mignolet was a disappointment. Can't defend set pieces. Too bad the offense doesn't have the Liverpool defense of the Benitez era supporting them.

    Those of you who say that luck plays very little part in this game I say, you are wrong.

    Nasri > Yaya and Nasri Scores
    Baker and Skrtel both scored own goals, baker will be coming off the bench for cahill
    Manonne in goal

    So yeah, I think that might be just a tad unlucky
